OCT 2 2 19 80 Bask 45 PAGE 74 <br />DEVELOPMENTS NOW GOING UP ON 6TH AVENUE. THIS CONTRACT IS OPEN <br />ENDED IN THAT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE WHOLESALE RATES FOR SEWAGE <br />ARE GOING TO BE AT THE PLANT; THAT NUMBER IS LEFT OUT. WE HAVE <br />AGREED TO CONTINUE AS HAS BEEN CHARGED, AND WHEN THE STUDY COMES <br />IN, THE COUNTY WILL BE NOTIFIED, THE CITY WILL ESTABLISH THE RATES <br />BY ORDINANCE, AND THEY WILL BE PLUGGED INTO THE AGREEMENT, TO PRO- <br />VIDE SOME SAFEGUARDS, WE HAVE AGREED THAT THE CITY WILL USE COMMONLY <br />ACCEPTED STANDARDS IN ARRIVING AT WHOLESALE WASTEWATER RATES; THEY <br />WILL BE ARRIVED AT IN THE SAME FORMAT AND FASHION USING A FORMULA <br />CONSISTENT WITH RATES ESTABLISHED FOR RETAIL; AND IN NO EVENT WILL <br />THE RATE EXCEED THE $1.10 PRESENTLY BEING USED. IT IS INTENDED WHEN <br />THE COUNTY HAS ITS OWN SEWAGE TREATMENT AND IS TREATING THIS AREA, THEN <br />THE 600,000 HERE WILL FLIP-FLOP OVER TO THE SOUTH BEACH. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND <br />CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. <br />SAID AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK. <br />MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMIS- <br />SIONER Loy, TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF VERO BEACH <br />RE MID -FLORIDA SERVICE AREA AND AUTHORIZE THE SIGNATURE OF THE CHAIRMAN. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT OUR PREVIOUS AGREEMENT WITH <br />THE CITY ON MID FLORIDA WATER SERVICE, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT <br />THIS AGREEMENT TAKES THE PLACE OF THE OTHER AGREEMENT. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY BASIC STIPULATIONS <br />IN THE UTILIZATION OF THE WATER, I.E., THAT WE CANNOT USE IT UNLESS <br />WE ALSO PROVIDE SEWER SERVICE. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THERE IS NO <br />SUCH RESTRICTION. COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT SPECIAL CUSTOMERS <br />SUCH AS THE VERO MALL, AND CITY FINANCE DIRECTOR MASON NOTED THAT VERO <br />MALL IS A RETAIL WATER CUSTOMER OF THE CITY. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THIS AGREEMENT HAS A LIMITATION <br />OF TWO AND A HALF YEARS. WE ARE SUPPLYING THE VERO MALL WITH SEWER <br />SERVICE, BUT NOT WATER. IF THE COUNTY WANTED THE MALL FOR A FUTURE <br />CUSTOMER, THEY WOULD HAVE TO NEGOTIATE THAT LATER. HE POINTED OUT THAT <br />THE WATER AVAILABILITY FOR THIS AREA FOR THE NEXT 2-1/2 YEARS IS NOT <br />THAT GREAT; WE ALREADY HAVE HAD ONE PEAK LOAD OF OVER 400,000 GPD, <br />AND THAT DOES NOT LEAVE MUCH TO GET NEW CUSTOMERS. <br />7.Li <br />
